Look, while an incident like this does not give you an excuse to make blanket statements about all blacks, it would be foolish to ignore the fact that this was done by low class black people because of a fear of being labeled as a racist.

My experience has shown me that while not all blacks are robbers and not all middle easterners are suicide bombers, I'm much more likely to be robbed or bombed by someone "of color"... and I refuse to apologize for having noticed the trend and for being a bit more wary of them because of it.

If I meet a black person in a business or social situation, I'll give them the same respect and benefit-of-the-doubt that I give to everyone else... but if I see a group of 'em wearing basketball jerseys I'm walking to the other side of the damn street.
